This presentation will introduce you to applications of your civil engineering degree beyond the norm. We will touch on all of Thornton Tomasetti’s practices and describe the Protective Design & Security practice in more depth. In Protective Design & Security, we use advanced topics learned in grad school, like structural dynamics and plastic analysis, to protect building occupants against blast and vehicle attacks. We design embassies and consulates all over the world, iconic commercial buildings and protect both new and existing structures. We work with many different entities such as the Departments of State, Department of Defense, private developers and professional sports teams.

Everyone is welcome. Graduate students are especially encouraged to attend. Bring your resume! Lunch will be served.
